Assessment
Monitoring Health, Fitness and Wellness
The FitnessGram
Assessment is part of the District Wellness Policy ADF, and instructional program that is mandatory for all 3-10th graders in physical education classes. This test includes testing of the 5 components of fitness which are: cardiovascular, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance and body composition. Nutrition education is encouraged in the elementary schools in place of the BMI test. Students compare their individual results to National Norms for other students across the country by age and gender.
Fitness Goals are made by each student and recorded in their data folders. The instructor reviews the results of the tests and incorporates activities into their curriculum to help students improve on their score.
Extra Curricular Activities are offered at the elementary, middle and high school level where students can improve their level of fitness by participating in elementary sports challenge activities, intramurals or sports and clubs at the secondary level. A fitness report card is generated and sent home with each student with the results of each test.
